On the hosting Server or PC, unzip the install.zip file to a location of your choice. 3. Then install the software by running the setup.exe file and not the Setup.msi file. 4.

The download components will include:.net 2.0.Net 4.0 Windows Installer 4.5 MS SQL Express 2008 R2 Design SAP 2012 software 5. Once the installation has been completed, you will need to run the software on the server you have downloaded it onto. This is so your licence key can be added and any updates applied to the software. 6. When this process has been completed, share the installation folder of this software with Full Control rights to all users of the software. (The default location of the installation folder can be found in C:\Program Files\Elmhurst Energy Systems\Elmhurst Design Sap 2012). To share this folder right click on the Elmhurst 7. Design SAP2009 folder, click Properties, the click on the Sharing tab, and click Share this folder. 8.

Click OK to complete your network drive. 9. Once you have done this your network drive will appear in the My Computer option. Click into the network drive and open the shared folder. Click CLIENTSETUP.EXE 10. This will install a thin client version on this PC which will run the full version on the server. 11. For further PC installations simply repeat the installation instructions. 12. All PCs will point to a single database situated on the server. Note: Multiple assessors accessing the same database must click on the refresh button to view all changes in the Design SAP 2012 software. Also multiple assessors can access the same Survey in the same database; however, the assessor saving the Survey last will retain any changes made to the Survey. 9
3. First Time Login When the installation is complete, click on the Elmhurst Design SAP 2012 desktop icon to open the software. The software will then ask for a Login name and Password in order to log in. We suggest the administrator logs in first, using the following login details: Username: Password: admin admin After logging in with the details above, the software will ask the user to enter a serial number. This is the same serial number that is used in Design SAP 2009, but if the administrator is unsure of the serial number, please call the Elmhurst OCDEA Support Team for assistance. The administrator should then go the Surveyors section of the Administration area and add their assessor details into the software as described in section 9.9 of this Software Guide. The Admin login will not allow the administrator to produce EPCs or request UPRNs and will also not show the actual assessor details on any reports produced. It is advisable for the administrator to use their surveyor login when using the software to create surveys. 3.1 Importing Design SAP 2009 Licence numbers Once log in has been completed Design SAP 2012 will prompt the user for entry of a licence number.
